Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students are incredible. I have 24 motivated English language learners who are eager to learn. My students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds with limited resources available to them. We are a Title I, Performance Improvement School, with 100 percent of our students receiving the free lunch program. Many parents work two jobs and are struggling to support their families.
Though their outside environment may not be conducive to learning, my students have an insatiable love of learning.
I know that if we provide them with the right support, resources, and opportunities, they can experience success.
My Project
As you know the COVID-19 pandemic has been remaking daily life for millions of Americans and their children. As a school teacher, it was heartbreaking to tell my students that we would not be seeing each other for a while.
We are a Title I school that does not have a 1:1 device for everyone, so I have to come up with other ways to reach my students so they will not fall behind.
We have been using Chromebooks in class so they are used to the laptops. Now that they are at home, I need to reconnect with my students using these Chromebooks. They need Chromebooks to access Google Classroom, where all my lessons are online. Many of our students are sharing one device with their siblings.
I will never give up on my kiddos no matter where they are!
